About "If I Don't Make It Back"

Lyrics for Tracy Lawrence - "If I Don't Make It Back"

We went out for beers and a couple laughs
Knowin' for well that every bad joke that Jimmy told might be his last
So we laughed like the world won that war
Said things to him we'd never said before
And he teared up as he held up his glass
He said boys
If I don't make it back

Have a beer for me
Don't waste no tears on me
On Friday night sit on the visitor side and cheer for the home team
Drive my camero
90 miles an hour down Redrock Road with "Born To Run" blastin' on the radio
And find someone good enough for Amy
Who will love her like I would have
If I don't make it back

We said hey man that ain't gonna happen
Don't even think like that
If we know you, you'll pull through without a scratch
He pulled me aside in the parking lot
Said Amy and me we're gonna tie the knot
You're my Bestman
Just wanted you to know that
Just in case
I don't make it back

Have a beer for me
Don't waste no tears on me
On Friday night sit on the visitor side and cheer for the home team
Drive my camero
90 miles an hour down Redrock Road with "Born To Run" blastin' on the radio
And find someone good enough for Amy
Who will love her like I would have
If I don't make it back

If the good lord calls me home
I'd like to think my friends for thinkin' about me when I'm gone

Well Miller Lite ain't my brand
But I drink one every now and then in his honor
We ain't missed a home game yet
Had that cameo at 110 on Redrock Road
When the speakers blowed
And I introduced Amy to a friend of mine from Monroe
He's a good ol' boy
But you know
She just ain't ready
